*Please note that I probably have used the character's actual names more than their "super hero" names. I hope it doesn't cause too much confusion. It was much easier for me to write it this way.
It had been about 10 years since the Titans had been together. They had the fight of all fights, no one understood eachother anymore, they saw no sense in staying together if all they were going to do was fight. As much as it hurt all of them, they parted ways.
Raven hadn't had contact with any of the Titans, until a few weeks ago. She'd heard a weird noise coming from somewhere in her room. She went through everything until she found it her old Titans communicator that hadn't made a sound in 10 years. When she opened it a recorded message from Robin, who prefers to be called Nightwing now, played. He began with how naive they had all been, how they just let their friendship go, and how he'd been thinking about it lately. He wanted the Titans to reunit. If not rejoin as a team, then just to have a reunion of sorts. So here she stood, right outside Titans Tower, which still looked quite nice, like someone still lived in it. Waiting for everyone else to arrive.
She looked around and found a rock to sit on. She stared out into the water that surronded the tower and waited. While she waited, she began to dwell on old memories that suddenly began to flood back into her brain. Most of them were of herself and Beast Boy. They'd had their ups and downs, their fights, and everything inbetween. Out of everyone who was going to be meeting up tonight, she wanted to see him the most.
"How did I know you'd be the first one here?" A slightly squeeky, yet deeper voice came from behind Raven. She jumped up and turned around to see who had snuck up on her. Once she spotted him, her big purple eyes widened even more. "Garfield..." She said softly. She tried to say something else but she found herself having trouble getting the words out without stumbling on them.
"Hi Rae." BB said with a big toothy smile. Raven couldn't help but stare. She looked him over and couldn't believe this was the same boy who had been trying to get her to be the referee for one of his and Cyborg's many games of Stankball.
"You okay Rae?" He asked, trying to get her to look him in the eyes. She looked up at him for a few seconds, and let her emotions take over. She slowly moved forward, and embraced him. Garfield stood in complete shock for a few seconds, and then wraped his arms back around her. "I've missed you Gar," Raven whispered. "I missed you too Rae," He said back. "More than you'll ever know."
"Oh, how delightful! We are almost there. I couldn't be more excited to see our friends again!" Starfire's voice rang out in the tiny car she and Dick were traveling in. Starfire had offered the fly them there, but he didn't want to be noticed by anyone. Instead of wearing his regular outfit, he wore his street clothes. But of course, in place of his mask he wore dark sunglasses. It was rare that he took them off, or his mask for that matter, unless he was inside his house with just himself and Star. Starfire however wore her tamaranian outfit. It made her feel better than her few street outfits that she owned. She only bought them because Dick said it would be a good idea.
Once they had reached the lake that Titans Tower was out in the middle of, they had to get out of their car and fly over. "Glorious! This is just glorious! Don't you think this is glorious dear? Glorious!" Starfire continued to ramble on and on. "Yeah, Star. This is pretty glorious." Dick replied with a slight grin on his face. The closer they got, the wider his grin grew.
Once they reached the tower they hovered in the air for a few seconds. "Hey Star, are you seeing what i'm seeing?" Dick asked. "Is that...Raven and Beast Boy? Hugging? OH GLORIOUS!" She almost yelled. To their surprise neither Raven, nor BB heard them. Or they did and they just didn't awknowledge them.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Dick teased once Starfire had set him down on the ground near Garfield and Raven. Both of their eyes widened as they shot apart from each other. "Oh hey guys!" Garfield gave a toothy smile while he waved to both of them. "Just catching up with Raven here..." He added.
"Yo!" A fimilar voice called out from behind the four united friends. "Cyborg?" Garfield's eyes lit up, and his smile grew. Out of his excitment to see his once best friend, he ran at full speed toward him. He tackled him mid-stride and they both fell to the ground laughing.
Once they both stood up again and composed themselves Cyborg walked over the Dick, shook his hand and they shared a "bro-hug." "I'm glad I came out here when I did, otherwise you guys probably would have been waiting here forever for me to show up." Cyborg said. "What do you mean by that? Do you still live here? I thought everyone abandoned this place..." Dick replied. "Oh well, everyone did. Shortly after everyone left, I came back. I can't leave this place. And do you see how good this place looks? Did you think it looks like this on it's own?" Cy teased. It's true, a place that's been abandoned for years should look like a complete crap pile.
"Well, come on guys! Let's go in and catch up!" Cyborg said with enthusiasm. Side by side, the titans walked back to the tower. Before Garfield got too far away from Cyborg he grabbed his arm, stopping him so they could have a little distance from the rest of the group. "Dude!" Garfield said, looking not so far up to Cyborg, now that he'd gained some height in the 10 years they'd been apart. "Nice." was all that Cyborg said before he winked at BB and started walking toward the tower, laughing. Garfield stood in confusion and then realized what he was making the comment about. His face turned a slight red and then started walking toward the tower behind the rest of the group.
Once in the tower, everyone noticed everything looked almost exactly as they had left it, give or take a few minor adjutments. Together, Cyborg took them around the tower and showed them all that all of their rooms looked exactly the same also. Dick's was still nice and organized, Star's room was still pink with the round bed in the middle of the room, Garfield's was less than organized, dirty socks, clothes and everything inbetween was thrown all around the room, and a smell had started to develop as well. "Heh. This is where the stank came from for stankball..." Garfield said as he scratched his head out of embarassment. Raven's room was the last one to be visited, Cyborg still never went in it once he was the only one left. It still scared him from the last time he had been in there with BB, the whole fact of there being a mirror that could suck them into raven's mind thing. He didn't know if there were other things left behind that could do that too. Unlike everyone else in the group, Raven took a quick glance at her old room, turned back to the rest of the group and took off back toward the living room. The others however, took their sweet time in their rooms.
Once back in the living room, they all took their old places around the couch. It was beginning to feel like old times once again. They all visited, told stories about their solo adventures, and shared a few laughs. "I...miss this." Raven said almost to where no one could have actually heard her. As soon as she said that everyone turned their line of sight toward her. Then they all averted their gaze back down to the ground and sat in silence for a few moments.
The first one to break the silence was Garfield. "I miss it too." He said quietly. And almost in unison, the three remaining titans who hadn't said a word replied "me too."
They sat in silence for the next few minutes, no one said a word. They shared slight glances but no one had anything to say.
The first one to break the silence was Dick. "Maybe, uhm... If you all wanted to. We could...uh...move back in here..." He said while he was looking down at his shoes. No one had actually expected him to say something like this, he never really did.
He stood up a few moments after he spoke up. "I mean, we all seem to miss it...And we did let a stupid fight tear us apart..." He finished.
They all had to admit what Dick just voiced was the complete truth. They all missed each other terribly. Looking back on the fight that they had, didn't look so bad now after ten years. Stupid teenage drama that seemed to take them over most of the time when they were together, and moody.
After a long discussion between all five of them, they made their decisions. Within the next week, they would all move out of their current living situation, and come back and reunit as the titans once again. None seemed to have a problem vacating their living quarters. The only ones who had an actual home was Star and Dick.
Once they'd expressed how excited they were that this was happening after all the time they'd been apart, it was time to go their individual homes for the last time.
To say their goodbyes, they went outside where they had all met up. Starfire gave Raven, Garfield, and Cyborg long hugs. After, they all said goodbye and they all adding in something about no being able to wait until they saw eachother again. After all the commotion Cyborg returned back to the tower, and Starfire flew herself and Dick back over to the other side of the lake to return to their car.
Raven was about to take off she felt someone grab her wrist, it was Garfield.
"Rae, before we take off I need to get something off my chest." He said quietly. "Oh, okay what-" Raven began to say before she was cut off by Garfield. He hadn't started talking, out of spite he'd kissed her, something he'd always wanted to do. Raven was shocked at first, but became more comfortable yet kept her emotions under control.
Once their embrace ended Garfield gave Raven a big toothy grin. Raven returned with a shy smile back. "Let's pick this up when we get back." Garfield said as he gave her a wink. He then proceeded to change into one of his many bird forms and flew off to the north. Raven watched as he flew away, and started to turn red. After a few moments of just staring in Garfield's direction, she drew up her black energy into the shape of a raven and disappeared.
Sorry if the ending felt rushed, i've been working on this for about a month and I was getting so close to finishing I just wanted it done. I might be writing a second part to this but only if i get feedback. I beg you, no matter what, tell me what you thought so i can feed off that and if i do write a second part, i can make it better.
